Letra de la canción Seer

Long ago I heard a tale I never will forgetThe time was in the telling on the bank the scene was setThe sky was rolling blindly on, the daylight had not goneShe washed her hair among the stones and saw what was to comeAll this will passThere will be blood among the corn and heroes in the hillsBut there is more to come my boy before you've had your fillMen will come and rape the soil as though it were their ownAnd they will bathe their feet in oil as I have bathed my own

All this will passAll things must comeJust as I tell you here

Stones will stand together as if searching for the starsAnd all come crashing down again before they reach too farShe turned to face the setting sun, I turned to walk awayBut then she called my name again and beckoned me to stay

All this will passAll things must comeJust as I tell you here

She told me of the famous sons who write their names in peaceYet be cut down before the time has come for our releaseJust as I tell you hereEven now I wait for the coming dayEven now she waits in the dawnFor the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sellFor the sight she knows, for a vision that still growsWith the dream in her eyes no one's seen

I listened for so long that day that I can hardly tellIf what she said was heaven sent or brought to bear in hellThat men of hope would stand alone and still be cast a lieJust as Romans cast them on the day they were to die

All this will passAll things must comeJust as I tell you here

Even now I wait for the coming dayEven now she waits in the dawnFor the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sellFor the sight she knows, for a vision that still growsWith the dream in her eyes no one's seen
